Star of Big Brother and former Page Three model Samantha Fox has been cleared of assaulting her wife on a British Airways flight after prosecutors dropped the charge.

The 58-year-old TV star was due to stand trial at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court on Monday after denying assaulting Linda Olsen by beating her at Heathrow on December 3 2023.

The incident had reportedly stopped the London to Munich flight from taking off.

At the time, a source told The Sun that the plane was ready on the runway but was forced to turn around after Sam "kicked off".

Passengers were then placed in a hotel for the night and got a flight the next day.

It is understood the assault charge was discontinued after changes to the evidence meant there was no longer a realistic prospect of conviction.

Fox had previously pleaded guilty to being drunk and disorderly and using threatening behaviour, causing harassment, alarm or distress to a police constable during a court hearing in April.

The Big Brother star will now be sentenced for the two charges at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court on Monday.

In June 2022, Fox announced that she had gotten married in a Eurovision Song Contest-themed wedding at the Kings Oak Hotel in Epping Forest, Essex.
